    Hello people!

    I went in to the local autoparts store today to buy some gear oil for the Maxim. When i went to the shelf that usually stores gear oil, i noticed that for the viscosity that i wanted, all of the bottles were gone... except for one white bottle that read "80/90 hypoid gear oil." It looks like it is produced by some company called Lucas... Now i usually buy valvoline or mobil1, but i decided to give this product a try. Ive searched the forums after i got back from riding (once the gear oil was changed i had to take a ride... I'm sure some of you can understand this impulsive behavior) and read about what their additives do to regular oil and it has gotten me worried... Did i make a bad purchase? Should I dump the Lucas oil and change it immediately?

    If anyone has ever used Lucas before, your input would be most appreciated!

    Go to bobistheoilguy.com The bad press bikers have been giving Lucas is concering their oil additive. Their hypoid maybe fine. I would do some research and bobs is the place to start.

    I dont think that there would be any issues with the oil, just the oil ADDITIVES.
